Sailing in Turkey also allows visitors to experience the hospitality of the people in the coastal villages and towns. The tempered winds blowing from west and northwest make the long summers ideal for yachting, and seem to encourage an appreciation of nature. From some of the turquoise coast's unspoilt and sheltered bays you can see mountain peaks rising to almost 3000 meters above sea level.

This cove is a good shelter for any direction in Değirmenbükü. İngiliz Limanı lies on the west of Hırsız Koyu. It indents to north then curves to the west. The shores on starboard afford all-round sheltering. Drop your anchor in the depths of 7 - 8 meters and take a line ashore. The depths along the eastern side abruptly shelve ashore. It has a dark turquoise color and very calm and still coves. There is a mermaid’s statue at the opposite the cove.

It is a quite preserved cove found opposite the Okluk Cove. In World War II, English ships running away from German submarines took shelter here. The harbor has its name from the English war ships which had got shelter here. When passing out it is really impossible to see the boats or schooners anchored inside other than their masts maybe. At night they would leave and attack the German held islands and enemy ships and return to the cove to hide. During the day, the crews would cover the ships with branches so that they were not noticeable.
